Arrived in Rio after a surprisingly short flight from London. Made short in fact by the fact that I was sat next to an ex RAF pilot who now trains air safety! Unless you are a plane geek (ie a boy) then this guy would have been a nightmare but I was loving it. After several stories of accidentally loosed weapons and near death experiences we were half way across the Altlantic discussing what might have happened to that Air France plane on the same route. ``Thunderstorms and flying too fast through a massive angry cloud must have ripped the airframe apart´´ was his opinion - just as we hit a fairly chuncky bit of turbulence ourselves. Time for a film I thought!
So we´re in Rio. Happily we´ve not been mugged (yet) and even better T lasted about 5 seconds in our budget accomodation before deciding that rat infested cockroach holes were not her cup of tea. Funny that. Anyone surprised? So we´re leaving the noisy yoofs behind to swan into the relative splendour of a beach front hotel (with balcony) - there went the budget but at least we won´t be crippled or catch something from the bedsheets.
Next time read about our Samba and Caiperinhas night out!
Oh yeah, just to keep teh rain blog currrent it´s pissing down!
